About this listen

Ah, Nyil, with its magic, its monsters, and its petty gods. A divine spat leaves French medic Viv stranded in the middle of an arcane disaster zone crawling with undead horrors. Thankfully, there are strange allies to be found, not least the mysterious interface that helps humans survive in this merciless world.

Viv will have to progress fast to survive this calamity and find civilisation. She will also need a bit of luck. Unless, of course, she becomes the calamity herself. After all, luck is such a fickle thing.

never had a bad production from soundbooth and this is there again with great cast showing off this brilliant story, after read this before the humour and stuff are hit spot on by the cast.
the story is intriguing, the world building is a bit here and there but that's not a bad thing as it's done in a great flow sith the story. I can't wait for the rest of this story and even more so after hearing the cast portray it.
not very much stats stuff if u worry about that.
keep up the good work

intriguing story

A really good audiobook a nice mix of elements and world buildings, with interesting characters.

Fantastic narration from a very skilled group of people. The narration really enhances the audiobook experience.

I was unsure if I would like this series but its an entertaining listen with an adult main character who is mature, capable, pragmatic yet keen to make the best of the situation.

I look forward to the next audiobook.

Very enjoyable

Dark magic, a witch, a golem and a dragon - well, if that is not a great combination then I don’t know what is. The story is witty, interesting and funny. I throughly enjoyed every second of it.

On top of it the narration was fantastic. SBT is truly synonymous with extraordinary production quality.

My only “complaint" is that the book itself is pretty short, but other than that I can’t recommend it enough :)

a great start to this series and I can't wait for more!

Mixing comedy and some dark themes watching the main character through their journeys. all the while sprinkings of a much larger plot are showing signs. the characters are interesting and aid the plot.

SBT do a stunning. job as always! the sound quality throughout is top tier with all the actors making the characters come to life, in some cases making a genuine move to make some characters speak without knowing the language and not needing to fall to stereotypes.

great listen, looking forward to the next!

a great beginning
